Middle School Formative Assessment Project

Are you interested in learning how to use mathematics assessments and the formative assessment process as a tool to advocate for student learning and surface student thinking/ways of doing? Trish French, Elementary Mathematics Specialist, and Lindsey Henderson, Secondary Mathematics Specialist are assembling Math 6, Math 7 and Math 8 teams who will learn about the power of the formative assessment process and then create a formative assessment test/task bank for the major work of the grade to be used state-wide.

We will be working with Math ANEX, you can read about their assessment philosophies:

• Math Anex Website: Making Sense of Math Is More Important Than Computation 
• Math Anex Website: Another Way We Look At Math Assessments Superficially 
• Math Anex Website: What does “2 grades below grade level” really mean?
